Workforce Development

The U.S. Department of Labor and the 2000 Kiplinger letter predict that 75% of the current workforce will need significant retraining in the next decade. The Distance Education and Community Outreach is here to fill that need.

Talking with business owners, labor, job service and workforce development professionals in the nine-county area served, led to the development of the following courses to be offered this semester. Anytime you would like to request courses, please contact the Distance Education and Community Outreach Department by e-mailing Beth Oswald at oswaldb@milescc.edu or call 874-6164.

Miles Community College’s Distance Education and Community Outreach Department is ready to work with businesses and organizations to develop customized training programs. This training can be utilized to receive recertification and renewal credits, college credit, or other forms of professional experience. We will work with the certification bodies of all professions to develop an acceptable training for their certification requirements.

As a community college, Miles Community College provides a quality educational environment and serves area residents through involvement in the community. Both goals are vitally important to MCC and have resulted in a wide variety of educational offerings, programs, and services designed for the college community at large. Special courses, programs, and workshops meet the interest of individuals and community groups.

Frequent partners in our “free” Continuing Education offerings are the Lunch-N-Learn series which features presentations by Tara Andrews, Custer County Extension Agent and the Speakers Bureau. The Speakers Bureau is a cooperative venture between the Custer County Art Center, Miles City Public Library, Miles City Books & News and Miles Community college.
